This book provides a technological history of modern India, in
particular the Nehruvian development in the context of the Cold
War. Through a series of case studies about military modernization,
transportation infrastructure, and electric power, it examines how
the ideals of autarky and technological indigenization conflicted
with the economic and political realities of the Cold War world.
Where other studies tend to focus on the political leaders and
economists who oversaw development, this book demonstrates how the
perspective of the engineers, government bureaucrats, and aid
workers informed and ultimately implemented development.
